(WHEREUPON, the following
proceedings were had in the public
hearing portion of the meeting,
commencing at 7 :04 p .m .)
MAYOR PURCELL: We have two public
hearings. I would like to open the Kelaka, LLC
annexation public hearing. Public hearing is now
open.
Is there anyone in the public who
would like to speak to the Kelaka, LLC annexation
public hearing? If so, step to the microphone,
state your name, please.
KEVIN KEARNEY,
testified from the podium as follows:
MR. KEARNEY: Good evening, everyone.
My name is Kevin Kearney. I represent the
petitioner, Green Door Capital Investments. I am
here tonight to represent petitioner on this
application for annexation and the annexation
agreement. There is another item on the agenda
that I will be speaking to as well.
I 'd just like to make a couple
general points about this. It is a voluntary
annexation into the city. It's done consistent

with the state statutes regarding annexation.
It's contiguous to the city. It's
unincorporated. It's got the permission of the
property owner.
We are the contract buyer, will
become the property owner if all things go
through, and we feel that the annexation is an
opportunity to continue a great relationship that
we have with the city and build upon it, and also
to -- the rezoning that's also considered in the
annexation agreement represents the best possible
use of the property.
So we are happy to answer any
questions that you may have about the petition
itself, but we feel it's fairly straightforward.
It's a voluntary annexation coming into the city.
Thank you.
MAYOR PURCELL: Thank you. Is there
anyone else who would like to speak to the
Kelaka, LLC annexation public hearing?
(No response.)
MAYOR PURCELL: Seeing and hearing none,
the Kelaka, LLC annexation public hearing is
closed.

pronounce it, apologize, annexation public
hearing. The Hagemann annexation public hearing
is now open. Same rules.
If anyone would like to speak to
that, please step to the microphone and state
your name for the record.
MONICA SHAMASS,
testified from the podium as follows:
MS. SHAMASS: Hi, everyone. My name is
Monica Shamass and I am an attorney for Lisa
Prather, Mike Riesenbeck, and Nick and Nicki
Dodd.
If you don't know them, or maybe you
do, they are actually some of the families who
are being affected by this annexing and this
rezoning.
These families have invested their
lives, savings and dreams into these homes and I
think that there is a little bit of a disparate
consequence to them that is probably kind of
happening because of how swiftly this is going
on.

Despite their diligent efforts to
find comparable properties at affordable prices,
these families are confronted with options that
are in either serious disrepair, not the same
size, and, if they are, lots of that land or
portions of that land are unusable; for example,
some of them are marsh.
When they do find land or property
that is maybe a similar lateral move, they are
finding that it is significantly more costly.
The current annexation plan
effectively isolates their properties, cutting
them off and surrounding them with industrial and
manufacturing uses making these residential lots
unmarketable.
This isolation inevitably will
diminish their property values. We are not
saying that this is something that would stop the
annexation, right?
What we are saying is the result of
the annexation and then turning their properties
into an island will effectively force them to
have to sell.
If they stay and then they want to

sell sometime in the future, they have diminished
property values, they won't be able to sell the
land to future buyers with the same understanding
that the property will be used in equal way or at
equal value as to what it is being used now.
So with that understanding, and that
the real option is to sell, my clients have made
a ttempts to engage with Green Door Capital
seeking substantive discussion and fair
negotiations; however, their efforts have been
met with insufficient or non-substantive
responses.
Green Door Capital's offers are what
it deems to be appropriate compensation, but
unfortunately they fail to consider the drastic
changes in the housing market since my clients
have purchased their homes.
It also fails to include the
understanding that there is higher interest
rates, increased housing costs, and that they
operate specific businesses out of their
properties, and with those specific businesses
they have unique uses that they need from each
individual property that they will eventually

move to, and that inventory for those properties
is very scarce, so it takes time. These families
were approached regarding this matter only a
short time ago, I believe in late June, and
unfortunately some notices that were mailed never
arrived. I even checked to see, you know, the
tracking number. One of them is still in
transit.
Now, with that saying, they need a
few more months to conduct proper due diligence
on homes, seek out replacement properties and
understand the valuations of their home now.
Green Door Capital I believe and my
understanding is is basing their evaluation on
when they purchased these homes several years
ago. Many of you understand that the housing
market has changed. Some of you may have
purchased home and understand that personally.
Now, with that said, our clients
need the ability to understand what is happening
to them and what is uprooting their families and
their lives and to be able to make informed
decisions moving forward based on that
information. They need time to negotiate with

Green Door Capital and considering, you know, the
weight of this decision.
Public policy should not uproot
families from their homes and push them into
financial hardship. Instead we need time to
collaborate with Green Door Capital to ensure
that these family are not just compensated for
properties that they bought based on numbers that
are not -- or at least we haven't been given
enough evidence for, but to rightfully make them
whole.
They need time to look for
properties, they need time to talk to brokers and
seek appraisal or see the appraisal that Green
Door Capital is possibly using and then be able
to respond, and so what we are looking for is a
little bit more time to give them the ability to
go ahead and do that and for us to actively, you
know, seek proper discussion with I believe
Mr. Kearney here and see where we can get, so
that way both parties feel like they are getting
a good deal.
Thank you for the time, and I yield.

anyone else who would like to speak for the
Hagemann annexation?
MR. KEARNEY: Thank you, Mr. Mayor.
Again, my name is Kevin Kearney, I represent
Green Door Capital Investments. So just a few
points.
This, like the Kelaka annexation, is
a voluntary annexation. This is done, the
property owners approaching the c ity, to ask to
annex into the City's jurisdiction.
Under Illinois law it really only
requires contiguity, it requires notice to be
sent to the fire protection district, library
districts, townships, and it requires that the
land be unincorporated, so from an annexation
perspective, Green Door has satisfied all the
requirements for voluntary annexation.
For the rezoning aspect of this
discussion, this rezoning is under the c ity's
UDO, should be evaluated like any other map
amendment or rezoning within the municipality,
and that requires analyzing is it consistent with
the Comprehensive Plan that the city has in
place. It does.

consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan,
which designates all this property as general
industrial, and if you look directly to the south
of the property that's proposed to be annexed in,
you will see that BrightFarms is general
industrial with a PUD, south of that is M -2 as
you are well aware, so this is consistent with
the -- not only the existing zoning uses that are
along Eldamain, but also consistent with what the
c ity envisioned starting in 2019 this whole area
being zoned as, and if you look, it's not in
Yorkville, but across the street, there is likely
going to be a similar use across the street in
Plano, so those are the considerations that this
Council is supposed to evaluate when determining
whether or not to proceed with an annexation
agreement that contemplates the zoning change,
and that's the only thing that that annexation
agreement is looking for.
It's looking simply for a zoning
change because, without it, it would annex in as
R -1 , which is the lowest intensity use, and
that's really not what the highest, best use of

the property is.
I 'm not going to speak to valuations
with the other properties; I haven't been
involved in those discussions, so I can't really
speak to them intelligently, but I do know that
my client has been working with adjacent property
owners to come to some agreements there.
They haven't agreed yet, but nothing
about annexation and rezoning will stop the
property owners from using the property as-is.
They are unincorporated; they will remain
unincorporated. They will continue using the
property the way they are using it currently, and
that won't change upon annexation, and, also,
annexation and rezoning doesn't mean immediate
development.
We still have to locate a developer
for the site, we don't have an idea of who is
going to use the site. All of that is going to
require further approvals by the City Council in
due course, and specific issues that can be
raised at that time can be addressed then, but we
can't even speak what to those issues might be
because we don't have any concrete plans for a

development of the site, we are just looking to
annex in and to be zoned appropriately for that
annexation.
Thank you.
MAYOR PURCELL: Thank you. Is there
anyone else who would like to speak to the
Hagemann annexation public hearing?
MS. SHAMASS: Am I allowed to go one
more time, or no?
MAYOR PURCELL: If you are quick, I 'll
let you go.
MS. SHAMASS: Thank you, I appreciate
it.
MAYOR PURCELL: I can be nice.
MS. SHAMASS: Thank you so much. Just
to respond to some of those things, yes,
everything is being done by the book, no one is
questioning what counsel is doing in terms of
process, but what we want to point out is that
there will be an effect on your community
members, and public policy is there to protect
the community.
We are nothing without the community
and we have to think about what the ramifications

are of these processes that we are using and we
are implementing, and so just because everything
is following the process doesn't mean that it
doesn't have a disparate impact on families.
Yes, the presumption is maybe the
way they live their life won't change, but we
don't know that, and as they said, they don't
know what they are going to put in there and we
don't know how long construction is going to take
and we don't know how long noise will last for
or, you know, smells or anything like that, they
have young children in those homes, and they were
not invited to annex in, right, so there is I
think things that can be handled, it just needs a
little bit more time, and that's what they are
requesting for this.
So no one is trying to be
unreasonable, no one is, you know, pointing
fingers and saying anybody is doing anything
incorrectly; we are just saying there are
ramifications to this that need to be thought
about and need to be considered.
With that, I yield.
MAYOR PURCELL: Fine. Is there anyone

else who would like to speak to the Hagemann
annexation public hearing?
SARA BUCHANAN,
testified from the podium as follows:
MS. BUCHANAN: My name is Sara Buchanan.
I am representing for my mother, Mary Auer, and
she is one of the houses that's being affected by
this, and where her house is, there is only three
houses on the -- on this proper -- you know, by
each other and that, and my mom is 83 years old,
sorry, and this is going to affect her, too. My
mom right now is in the hospital and I have been
in the hospital with her since Friday, and so I
came down here to talk on her behalf.
My mom, you know, we -- like they
said, we just got this note, you know, to tell
that they are going to put something behind her
house, you know, and before my father passed
away, he told us that he was grandfathered in,
that their house is not going to be affected in
that, you know, of agriculture and their business
that they have and everything, so of them
changing the zoning, that's going to affect my
family's business, too, on top of it, too, so I
